Apparently some people, instead of seeing
see
when looking at LordLemmi's text. I can't get this in any browser I have.
So tell me, what is your browser, what is your locale, do you have Asian fonts intalled, and does this text work or garble for you?

Take an accent mark character that combines with the letter it's put after. Now take another. Now take 30 more. That's what you get.

my guess is a missing language pack... I don't have Microsoft Office and I know some of the language support is included with that... do the other folks who are getting the weird chars have Office?

I see the really long squares and stuff, not the matrix stuff
OS X 10.6 Snow Leapoard Firefox
Only a handful of people have the right combination of fonts and language packs
